Ha, excellent conversation... I had it pretty well figured out. The Hunq was going to be my mountain bike. I'd put my "heavy" Phil Wood 36^ wheelset on with Nanoraptors. I'd need to buy most of the other components though, that was the deal breaker :-( I'd keep my AllRounder "light" wheelset on as is with fat slick tires (Top Touring 2K 42mm at the moment). Then have my roadie bike (30 miles on it today!) for you know, roadie stuff. Then I'd have the Quickbeam, which is getting harder and harder to justify keeping...
But instead I bought a complete used Karate Monkey for half the price of the Hunq frame by itself.
